Area of Science:

  • General Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques

Context:

  • Evaluation of surgical methods for inguinal hernia repair.
  • Comparison between traditional hernia repair and the Shouldice method.

Purpose:

  • To assess the efficacy of the Shouldice method in reducing hernia relapse rates.
  • To document the transition from traditional inguinal hernia repair to the Shouldice technique.

Summary:

  • From 1982 to 1990, the Surgical General Department adopted the Shouldice method for inguinal hernia repair.
  • This decision was based on the lower incidence of relapses observed with the Shouldice technique compared to traditional operations.
  • The study period allowed for a substantial evaluation of the method's effectiveness.
